Method and system for integrated wireline and wireless services in a switching system
First Claim
1. An integrated wireline and wireless switching system, comprising:
- a shared operating system;
a shared telecommunications module which communicates with the shared operating system;
a wireline module which communicates with the shared telecommunications module;
a wireless module which communicates with the shared telecommunications module; and
one or more structures that include one or more procedure references arranged such that the wireline and wireless modules execute shared procedures corresponding to the procedure references for performing one or more enhanced services;
wherein the shared operating system is configured to perform at least one of task scheduling and processor interrupt handling.

Abstract
Methods and systems consistent with the present invention perform enhanced services for wireline and wireless subscribers in an integrated wireline and wireless switching system. The enhanced services may include, for example, group dialing plans, message waiting indicator activation, call forwarding, simultaneous ringing, call conferencing, calling line identification, automatic call back, automatic recall, speed dialing services, and/or any other services that may be provided by a switching system to wireless and/or wireline subscribers. When a calling wireline and/or wireless subscriber requests one or more of the enhanced services, the integrated wireline and wireless switching system determines the line types associated with the wireline and/or wireless devices of a called subscriber, and identifies references to one or more shared procedures for performing the enhanced services according to the determined line types without creating direct dependencies between wireline and wireless modules in the integrated wireline and wireless switching system. Finally, the integrated wireline and wireless switching system executes the identified procedures to perform the shared services.
